Title: Terminal registration using session initiation protocol
Inventor: SEO CHEONG-JEONG
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2003-11-24
Abstract: A terminal registration method uses a session initiation protocols, (SIP) and more specifically a terminal registration method uses a session initiation protocol for increasing system efficiency and minimizing user mistakes by enabling a terminal to perform registration after receiving an IP address and a telephone number from an Internet access device with the use of a Media access control (MAC) address. In addition, in a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) system including a terminal and a session initiation protocol server, a terminal registration method using a session initiation protocol includes obtaining terminal information by transmitting an MAC address to the session initiation protocol server by the terminal, obtaining user registration information by transmitting the obtained terminal information to the session initiation protocol server by the terminal, and registering in the session initiation protocol server by using the obtained user registration information.

Title: Device to remind a driver to drive on the correct side of the road
Inventor: KISHERE GARRY MICHAEL
IPC: G08B3/10
Filed: 2004-02-16
Abstract: The Direction Reminder is a door or dash mounted safety device for motor vehicles fig.1. It is to assist in avoiding accidents abroad as a result of driving on the wrong side of the road due to memory lapse. It is also to bring peace of mind to drivers who would otherwise not travel on foreign roads at all. It has a pre recorded message which can be selected by the driver or left in the off position. The Direction Reminder is an aid to drivers who are travelling on foreign roads and gives an audible reminder to 'keep left' or keep right' fig.2. The Reminder is activated by a switch, which is fitted into the inner door hinge area or the car. The switch has a contact breaker which triggers the message as the door is opened to enter or re enter the vehicle and is easy to fit by the vehicle user. The switch is attached to the main unit by a wire or has the option for a switch, which works by a sensor without need for a wire.

Title: Tube clip with rope hole
Inventor: TODD KENNETH
IPC: F16B5/06
Filed: 2004-05-28
Abstract: A clip used to attach polythene to the tubular frame of a polytunnel or similar tunnel used to grow fruit and the like. The clip comprises at least one hole through which a rope may be inserted. Inserting the rope through a plurality of clips enables the clips to be removed from the tunnel at the same time upon pulling of the rope. This enables quick removal of the polythene from the tunnel in high winds or storms. Further, the rope may be used to tighten the clips onto each tunnel. Moreover, use of the rope means that the clips are less likely to be lost.

Title: Combined fan and heat exchanger
Inventor: FISH GARRY ROYSTON
IPC: F28F5/04
Filed: 2005-01-06
Abstract: A method of transferring heat between a fluid and a gas comprises passing the fluid through passages 16 in a rotating body which is disposed in the stream of gas. The rotating body may comprise of an axial 10 or radial (210, fig 3) fan and the passages 16 may be formed in the hub 12 and blades 14 (214) of the fan. The centripetal forces acting on the fluid in the axial fan 10 may pump the fluid though the passages 16 and avoid the need for a separate pump to pump the fluid though the passages 16. A rim 18 connecting the blades 14 together may be received in a stationary channel 20 and the passages 16 in the blades 14 may communicate with an annular chamber, which functions as a header tank with a connector and is disposed between the rim and channel. The passages (116, fig 2) in the blades may be a closed circuit with an inlet and outlet in the hub (112). The fan may cool an engine bay, a condenser of an air conditioning system, an intercooler or transmission oil, may replace a conventional fan and radiator engine cooling system or may act as a centrifugal pump. The fluid may be a liquid or gas and the fan may be driven by an electric motor, or by the engine.

Title: Sash spring support using mounting peg
Inventor: BRAID HAROLD KEITH
IPC: E05F1/08
Filed: 2002-03-28
Abstract: A spring support 24 for counterbalancing a sash window is provided with at least one mounting peg 44, which engages a mounting aperture 52 defined within a channel 9 in the sash window jamb to locate and secure the spring support. In use, the peg and aperture are arranged so that the spring secures and locates the support mounting against movement in a first (downwards) direction C, but movement in the opposite (upwards) direction E disengages the peg from the aperture. The peg may be retractable and may be resiliently biased into engagement, or be relatively rigid with the biasing means provided by the channel walls. The mounting peg may have a sloped profile 46 so that it can easily be slid into position in the channel where it will be biased downwards, against the side face of the peg, by the sash spring in use. The invention acts as a safety feature in the event of accidental release of the sash shoe from the window, or rapid upwards movement of the sash.

Title: Synchronising a Translation Lookaside Buffer to an Extended Paging Table
Inventor: BENNETT STEVEN
IPC: G06F12/10
Filed: 2007-08-10
Abstract: In a virtualisation based system, a Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) stores a mapping from a guest address to a host physical address. In response to an instruction and an operand, a logic circuit performs a synchronisation of a mapping from a guest address to a physical address of the host (host physical address) stored in the buffer with a corresponding mapping stored at least in part in an extended paging table (EPT). The synchronisation is based at least in part on the operand of the instruction which comprises at least one of a context descriptor and an EPT pointer. Preferably, the synchronisation comprises updating the mapping stored in the TLB based at least in part on the mapping stored in the EPT, where the mapping in the EPT is stored with the same guest address as the mapping stored in the TLB. The virtualisation based system may be a Virtual Machine Monitor.
